Looks like they are going to carry it right into a Federal prison. And with Democrats deciding which one. Let's see, looks like this one in Fairbanks, Alaska will work, they will be nice and close to Ms. Palin.... Or perhaps a stay with the Columbian drug runners and Haitian alien smugglers will work better at "rehabilitating" them ....

hmmm. i thought karl rove had retired. :D

No, this only shows how unstoppable Rove has become. No longer is his input needed on various actions, all that's needed is for one of the many loose knit, ad hoc, globally scattered cells of acolytes to plan their own action and carry it out.

O'Keefe spent most of the time in the men's room off the jail's lobby, then hustled to the cab when it arrived. As he ran into the back seat, he called out, "The truth shall set me free."

Robert Flanagan's attorney, J. Garrison Jordan, said he believes his client works for the Pelican Institute. Asked the motivation for the alleged wiretap plot, he said: "I think it was poor judgment. I don't think there was any intent or motive to commit a crime."

Plan B » Party's big annual fundraiser will find new featured speaker instead of O'Keefe.

Salt Lake County Republicans are scrambling to line up a new keynote fundraising speaker after the arrest Tuesday of their scheduled first choice, filmmaker James O'Keefe, on charges of attempting to tamper with the phone system of a U.S. senator.
"The allegations and arrest today certainly change our plans," county GOP Chairman Thomas Wright said in a telephone interview with The Tribune. "We'll be announcing a new speaker shortly."
As of Tuesday night, the party's Web site, slcogop.com, still advertised O'Keefe as the guest speaker for the Feb. 4 Lincoln Day Dinner. His topic was to be "his national exposé of ACORN's unethical behavior, his changes in Congress and [how he will] inspire our Party's passion for a grassroots comeback."
The fundraising announcement said donations of $4,000 to $7,500 would entitle contributing groups to have access to elected Republican officials and the guest speaker at a VIP reception. Wright said the Web site and other promotions would be altered soon to reflect a change.
"We're disappointed," he said of O'Keefe's arrest on felony charges. "He doesn't necessarily represent the Republican Party."

No intent or motive to commit a crime? Then why were they dressed up as telephone repairmen, and why did they lie about who they were, and why did they trespass on government property, attempting to gain access to the telecom room? Man, that lawyer's got to have one straight face to say that without laughing.

"Don't just respond to news, but actually create your own headlines," O'Keefe is quoted as saying by CampusReform.org. "Louisiana families are shocked and outraged that these men would break the law to carry out their political agenda with this Watergate-like break-in and attempted wiretapping," McHale said in the statement, which also claimed Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter has "ties to some of the players involved" and called on Vitter to "immediately denounce" the suspects and anyone else involved. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/26/senate.office.break.in/index.html?hpt=Sbin

Messing around in a US Senator's office is dangerous, and stupid.
They are in the hands of the law, now.

They further screwed up by taking the son of a US attorney with them. There will be no leniency given to him because of political reasons. And it will be difficult to treat the other 3 differently from him.

Now, if we apply "TV Law & Order: 101" . . . who are the Feds going to try to "flip?" It's usually the weakest link or the accused that can give up the "higher ups."

I kinda feel for these guys. They got their heads filled with notions of being heroes of the conservative movement and ended up flying a little too close to the sun.

I hope we find out the details of they had planned. It was probably a prank, but they were incredibly stupid in entering a Federal building to play it.

Was anyone at ACORN ever charged with a crime?

Not at the national level, but there have been arrests and convictions of ACORN field workers and contractors, just as there have been "conservative" voter registration worker convictions.

they should have worn a blue dress
